# Skills

The **Skills** page records, inspects, and versions the skills available to the project. Open it from **Distribute > Skills** in the dashboard.

## Access requirements

<Callout type="info">
  Viewing this page requires the `skill:read` scope. Adding, editing, or archiving a skill requires the `skill:write` scope. The default [Admin role](/docs/ai-control-plane/org-admin/roles-and-permissions) includes full access; the default Member role can browse skills but cannot add, edit, or archive them.
</Callout>

## Skill list

The list shows each skill with its source badge. Search by name and filter by source and classification. Add skills with **Add Skill**.

## Skill detail

A skill's detail page shows the latest version of its manifest exactly as agents load it, with validation errors surfaced when a manifest is invalid.

The **Version history** section records every version of the skill's manifest, with diffs between any two versions — so changes to a skill are auditable over time.

Skills are distributed to agents by bundling them into [plugins](/docs/ai-control-plane/distribute/plugins) alongside MCP servers.
